Bad advice. BAD! DO NOT DO THIS

THE OWNER WILL RAPE YOUR ASS IF THEY EVEN THINK IT'S YOU! SERIOUSLY! DO NOT DO THIS!

you're about as retarded as your avatar looks.

op, tell the owners. go look for the carcass, put on some rubber gloves, and get the address/phone number off the tag and contact the owners.
 
Never hit an animal, but took out a family of four in a minivan while narrowly missing a crow picking at roadkill. Thankfully the bird lived.

some people flip out some don't. When one of my cats got hit a few years ago the person who hit it was worse off then i was. she was hysterical and we had to call someone else (i think her mom) to come and get her because she was unable to drive home. literally she was just balling like someone just told her he parents died

because pets are more than just animals to people... they're family members. they put them in pictures, they spend lots of money for their vet bills, they feed them, remove their poop, they have pride for their pets (even if they're uglier than hell, they still love them), they include them in those family stick figure window decals that you see on the rear windows of minivans and suvs...

people love their pets very much and get sick when they don't come back and don't know why...

my cat got out one night because she was in heat... she always came back home within a day. after three days, i was sick and really worried. i looked all over the place, clanging her food bowl and calling her name (which usually has her meowing and running with extreme excitement towards me). i heard nothing. i went around and asked every neighbor if they'd seen nibbler (the cat... she's a tuxedo... yes, we named her after the futurama pet), and no one had. after a week, i just figured some animal ate her or something and was very depressed. then, finally, one of the neighbors came and told me about some flyers they saw that said "found: black and white tuxedo cat". i called the number on the flyer and, sure enough, it was nibbler... she was in a house a mile away. apparently, the people were having a dinner party and when few of the guests were at the door and rang the doorbell, the host opened the door and nibbler just walked right in the house as if it was our house (the houses look nothing alike... we had a townhouse and they had a large 4 bedroom house).

the point is that i was scared and sick from the stress of worrying about what happened to her.
 
Too many birds to count, 1 cat, 0 dogs, and a big ole momma raccoon (leading the youngin's across the road). That thing got stuck in the van's wheel well. Fun thing to scrape off.
 
I got a seagull not long ago. It was swooping down onto the road (maybe to clean up the remains of some previous roadkill) and swerved right into the windshield of the company pickup I was driving at the time. Luckily it hit the windshield up high, just where it joined the roof of the truck or it might have come right through. It flipped over the roof and landed in the bed of the pickup, neck broken and dead.

I couldn't locate the owner, so I just threw it in our industrial incinerator and cremated it.
 
I hit a kitten last year. It's the only animal I've ever killed in my car as well. It darted 3/4 of the way across the street, noticed me, and tried to run back just as I approached it. I got a 3 day vacation for making a crude joke about it here.

Honestly, I wasn't too broke up about it though. On consideration, I've probably helped the species by taking out a member that was incapable of negotiating traffic before it was able to reproduce. I know that sounds rather heartless, but I just don't can't muster any concern for the welfare of random animals.
 
Fine, go tell the owners, but you will get an ass beating from them. It's just the truth. People who find out their pet is dead freak the fuck out on you.

I SPEAK FROM TRUE KNOWLEDGE, BITCHES

That attitude is part of what's so wrong with the world today. It doesn't just apply to animals, it applies to everything. Can you worry about every little thing? No, of course not. You'd go crazy trying. But when something directly affects you, such as you killing a kitten, albeit unintentionally, with your car, I think it's pretty cold for you to not be bothered by it. That fact that you weren't chills me, in fact. I was coming home from work one night and came upon a kitten writhing in the road. Some one had hit it and kept going. It was screaming, and that image bothers me even years later. I called a non-emergency number as soon as I got home and asked that they send someone out to end its suffering. 🙁

If it makes a difference, I cared very deeply about all the pets I've owned personally. I think I lack the empathy to care much about things that are too distant from my personal experience. I know that a person who felt as strongly about their pet as I have mine would be very sad to learn it had been killed, but that doesn't translate to an urge to alleviate their suffering or to be concerned at all about the welfare of an animal I have had no previous contact with.
 
This is where it all starts. Soon you are going to move onto running over bigger animals and then humans. At first you are scared and feeling guilt but inside, you are rushed with adrenaline. Maybe the next full moon you'll feel better/

i saw a cat get hit once on my way home from the store. the driver kept driving and the cat looked injured in the middle of the road. i parked in the road and got out and went to the cat... he had no collar on. his eyes were wide open and he was breathing fast and heavy. it broke my heart... i wish i had the strength to end his misery, but i didn't. i picked him up by the scruff, took him off to the side of the road and sat there petting him until he died about 2 minutes later.

Where I lived, deer impacts were so common that car insurance carriers, or at least StateFarm, didn't charge you any deductible for deer-related damages - they paid the full bill. The damn things are absolutely everywhere, and they frequently enjoy bounding in front of cars at night. Or into them - my dad's car was damaged when one ran down a small bank and rammed the rear passenger-side door, during daylight hours.
